Col. Milton NJ. Holland was the
centre of attraction at the PHO
mathean Literary society last
Thursday night. His paper was
on Cooperation which was listened
to with great attention. Col. Hol-
land presented some real practical
ideas he shwowed the necessity OF
cooperation among the colored
people and the way they should ac-
cumulate property on easy terms
by joining the Industrial Saving
and building association. 1t was
the universal expression that the
paper should be. printed and read
by every colored person in the
city. The paper was discussed by
Prof. w. B. johnson and Mr.. 81. Q.
Smith, both gentlemen presented
practical suggestions. On motion
of Rev. Johnson, a vote of thanks
was rendered Col. Holland and
also a resolution offered by the
same gentleman calling on the peo
pie to support the Industrial Build
ing and Saving, Co. There viii
not be any more literary until the
first Thursday night in January a
which time Mr.. w. q. II. Hart

SCATTERED NOTES,
For The WASHINGTON BEE
BY
Magnus l.. Robinson.
West End, Dec. Is, 1887.

At the Second Baptist Church in
Richmond, Va, on the 9th inst.,
during the funeral services over the
remains of Henry Braxton who was
killed by a falling p LEY, while at
work at the Tredegar Iron Work,
Rev. John Jasper, who preached
the sermon, recalled vivid dream
which the dead man had several
days before the accident. Braxton
was preacher, and had charge of a
church near Ashland, where he
preached very regularl y on Sum-
DAYS. Several days before his
death, he dreamed that he was kill
ed, and that death came to him sud-
denly. When he awoke in the
morning, he related bis dream and
all day long it haunted him. AT
work or at home, in the pulpit, or
on the street, the dream would come
before him with remarkable vivid
ness, and he could not forget the
awful vision which appeared in bis
sleep. To several persons he relat-
ed it, and at first he seemed to re.
gard it as a bad omen for his sister,
who is living in New York. A
few days previous to his sudden
death he said "that death in the
dream is intended for me and moi
nv sister, In this state of mind,
he went to work, and how plainly
his vision or prediction was fulfill
ed. A falling pulley crushed him

A large and enthusiastic t(mper-
ance meeting was held at the Zion
Baptist Church Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Benjamin Hart, opened the
meeting and turned it over to the
ladies.
There was much interest manifes-
ted in the meeting. There were
several speakers appointed for the
occasion, but failed to make their
appearance. Mr., J. L. White was
called upon and delivered a fine
address. The following essay on
temperance, was read by Miss Belle
E. Moss.
Intemperance, involves many
habits, and a restriction upon all
in which we are apt to go too far.
The portion which [ shall speak
about for a short while is the des-
truction from the Intoxicating cup.
There is not one in my presence,
who has not been dlsgusted In
some eoay by the purchase of liquor;
and many of you have received
heart pangs by the indulgence OF
this horrible practice. If the drin-
ker knew how beast like he ap-
peared, he would scorn the very
thought e" of this deamon and the
glass"
We have scripture for it, that
wine is a mockery, and he who re
ceives there of is not wise. Tenn
perance is a subject discoursed by
many, but practlced by few, ane
yet it is one of the greatest object
that We should strive to build up
that it may become useful, ant

father rear children when they |
are not setting proper examples |
for them to follow? Can father
rear son creditable, when he
walks In bar rooms and drinks

daughter creditable, when she
gives her the decanter and sends
her out for beer? When fathers
are brought home senseless by
this Intoxicating drink, what an
example! Fathers, are you set

Mothers; are you setting good ex-
amples tor your daughters? No,
many OF you are leading them to
degradation, rather than to God.

he becomes noisy, and shall have
